Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box

November 1, 2023

I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th.

You might think I made this box but I sure didn't! It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper. The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online.

As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard. I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.

Save

The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things!

The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog. It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here.

Save

You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out. Because it comes flat it's easy to do.

I hope you're inspired by this project. I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!

I'm hosting my Holiday Catalog Open House Wednesday from 2-6:30 pm. If you're local, stop in and pick up your catalog, browse the displays, check out the ordering specials and of course eat some yummy treats.

I will share the displays in a video on my FB page this week!

Here's a card I made for an online swap featuring the new Love of Leaves bundle seen here.

I got the idea from a card in the catalog but changed it up quite a bit. I added a piece of the beautiful Gilded Autumn Specialty designer paper behind the die-cut leaf. Can you see the stitching around the stitched Rectangle window? These Stitched Leaves dies stitch on the outside and on the leaf itself! They're amazing!

The colors here are Mint Macaron, Soft Suede & Cajun Craze. I'll post the card I made with the die-cut leaf itself soon.
